Ofc people will always pick an easy faction to get an easy grind and wins. Only good stacks will play less populated faction. However you shouldn’t blame the players if this game had more healthy playerbase and with that a possible proper mm this wouldn’t be an issue.
You’re right. And the players are not to be blamed.
However, considering the current situation (lack of players)
you have to agree that ranks only make the problem worse?
It’s a totally unnecessary feature they added.
Depends on how do you look at that. For me ranks mean nothing. The more important thing for me are those rewards and at least that’s what keeps me getting those ranks. Otherwise wouldn’t even try tbh.
Does it affect your experience? No you can still desert games if you don’t enjoy them.
Does it bring more uneven teams? Yes.
Edited: Even the new 300 requirement will be an easy goal for all of those who play this game every single day.
I dont think ranks means anything to anyone tbh.
And the new 300 requirement is ofc going to be easy peasy for every player that do have a impact on this game. In that regard i don’t agree with OP, because the same group of ppl is not gonna choose the easy path because of some usless show off ranks they will reach anyway.
But imo it does affect the overall experience for everybody in the long run.
So many potential great and even games that are never being played because of ppl deserting before the game even started.
So yes, even if I desert a battle and move on, this feature will make a higher % of the games I play uneven = nothing I find funny, regardless of which side I’m at.
it will not affect 5% of top players that end up season with 300+ points with desertions and playing however they want. but it will affect rest of the playerbase and specially those who want ranks/rewards. are those rewards shit? yes, but there will still be people who want to play for them. and that means shitty unbalanced matches for foreseeable future.
And that’s the devs fault again not the players. Instead of finding the issue why are players not enjoying some particular game and would rather desert than staying. They have so many wrong approaches and making this game even more less enjoyable.
95% of my matches are solo que. Certainly I can pull if of this season too.
I dont care at all about my rank.
The rewards for promotion are almost nothing.
When I have highest rank it changes nothing.
It only makes bad enemy players desert.
I like being low ranked again and destroying unsuspecting high ranked enemies.
Been cycling Stalingrad Soviet, Normandy Axis and Pacific Axis since the new season started considering Moscow Soviet had been unplayable at times because of bad players not building rally points and not playing the objective. I think 300 points for Marshal rank is a bit excessive like this is going to be a long slog like on my pace around a week or two where I’m already Brigadier General now.
